Picked my V4 up today. Then did 159 miles on it round the Warwick’s and Worcs roads. What a bike. Like my old DVT but better.
Congratulations I did already 5000 km and still like it a lot it had a new engine at 1500 km. I do not like the mirroring of my mobile not very stabile like in a car.
Pretty? No. Purposeful? Very much so. There is no ‘pretty’ adventure bike This goes and rides like a proper bike though.
Look forward to hearing how you find it after you get a few miles under your belt (likewise still haven’t risked riding one yet)
Noted, however, regardless of how you perceive the 'improved' bike, for me it's still a definite no thank you, as it looks truly awful. And yes, I appreciate that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I don't need to visit Barnard Castle......yet! I sincerely hope you continue to enjoy your new toy, after all, that's really all that matters and of course it is a Ducati
It's feeling even better after every ride. The engine is astonishingly good. Loads of drive everywhere, pretty much in every gear, very flexible and no more having to go down to 1st gear in town. And then the stupid quick V4 thrust higher up in the rev range. The most impressive aspect though is how much more manoeuvrable it is. I have no idea how or where they have hidden that weight..
i was blown away when left my SFV4S at dealer and took the multistrada for a 30 min blast. if only cos i get really bad vibes/numb fingers on right hand bar on SF for some reason after 10 mins (foam grips and heavier bar ends help but not perfect). name down for the PP when it comes
